The Process

If you are unfamiliar with the process of engaging an architect, here is a quick guide to what CNA can do for you at each stage. Below the diagram are some drawing examples for each stage and a more in depth description.

1. SURVEYA fully measured up survey of your house, these plans are what will be used to work on to create Feasibility Options.

2. FEASIBILITY OPTIONS3D Sketch designs working with you to create options that meet your criteria and conform to regulations. Pick and choose and mix and match from the options.

3. PLANNINGA fully prepared planning application and/or listed building consent including liaison with the local authority.

4. BUILDING CONTROLOnce planning permission is granted, your plans will be needed to be approved by building control. This will require more construction detail and further drawings. CNA use a private building inspector to reduce cost and increase speed.

5. CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGSFurther detail and construction information is added to drawings to ensure builders are given all the necessary information to make construction run smoothly.
